Once you receive the e-mail from Sendero, follow the included instructions for logging in and retrieving your map license key. Remember, your user id is your PAC Mate Omni serial number.
Once you log in with your user id and password, you will be taken to a Web page containing the map downloads for your country. Your map license key is also displayed on this page. Be certain to record this code, being especially careful
to note upper and lower case letters, and store it in a safe place. If you do happen to misplace it, you can always log back into your map download area and retrieve it again.
